Jones is out-of-contract at Gresty Road, but the Railywaymen are entitled to a transfer fee as he is under 24.
"He recognises this is a placed where he can develop his game," said Lilywhites boss Paul Simpson.
"He is only 20-years-old and has played over 140 games at first-team level, so he has got experience. But he looks at this as a place he can come and develop into an even stronger player."
